About Poorly Animated Roommates (VA's and Background Artists needed)

==About==

Hello, my name is Nathan/Just Ninkee, and this is my new project that I'm currently working on, Poorly Animated Roommates. Before I talk about the production, I wanna give you a brief summary of myself. I'm new to this industry of Animation and Directing, but don't let that turn you off, that's why I'm making this project a bit easy to digest for myself (that's why it has 'Poorly Animated' in the name). I also have a Youtube Channel to which I barely post or do any effort on (please don't use my old videos as reference on what I can do), that's why i'm starting to learn how to do 'proper animation' for this project in particular.

There are 5 main characters who live in an a Apartment complex, to which one of them has just moved in and is new to the environment they now live in. These 5 characters tend to get in interesting situations and consider themselves family, even though they live in a crumby apartment.

The Story will have no continuity, just slight personality changes through episodes, and usually the plot for each episode could turn into 1 or 2 arcs, there will also be quite a few adult jokes sprinkled in the story, as it is a main selling point for this series. There could also be up to 4-6 episodes max, and the series will be posted on Big Red TV's YouTube Channel. As of making this Casting Call, episode 1's script would have been finished, and maybe episode 2 if i'm quick enough.

Jax is an Ex-Military Unit (we don't really go too deep into that) who always wears his suit for no real reason, he may look like a bad ass, but instead he has a heart of gold. What i'm looking for is a mature voice, but also one that is playful and very kind, also one that can easily convey a comedic tone to it. Also remember Jax always sounds happy and has an up lifting spirit to him, but don't over do it, to the point where he can't convey emotion. (Kinda Like David from Camp Camp)

Voice Range: Mid - Low Mid

(This is him after someone tells him why is he wearing a 'costume')

(A Bit more Serious tone) What? Oh you mean this, heh yea. I get that a lot, and no it’s not a costume it’s a military outfit. I wear it because I don’t really have anything else to wear, and people don’t really care or point it out.

(An un-easy or uncomfortable tone) As you can see she takes photos when you least expect it so don’t be surprised when she takes one of you in the shower, trust me, I learnt it the hard way.

(Stern Tone) Ok ima take you to your room before you somehow lose your virginity

Haley is the voice of reason in the group, and she is at the apartment, because she has to study for university there, but she doesn't spend too much time studying, and mostly just hanging out with the group. Haley has a mature girl voice to her, that makes her sound very serious and pretty demanding at times, she is also quick to anger, so make sure you have a proper stern sounding voice when she gets angry.

Voice Range: Mid High - High

(Happy but a bit demanding tone) Hey Jax, What you want i'm busy?

(This is when Jade finds Haley looking at something interesting on her laptop)

(Desperate tone) Uhh it’s for biology!

(Angry tone) I'm doing some homework right now, can you please stop knocking on F****** door!!

The ladies man of the group, think of Barney from 'How I Met Your Mother' when you do this character. Leo is pretty interesting... nonetheless Leo tends to flirt with girls a lot, but never gets them, he even encourages his friends to follow his advice, instead he and them just fail miserably. Leo talks a lot with confidence and always seems like he is very smart and classy, but in reality he is a big douche.

Voice Range: Mid

(Confident tone) If you are in need of a certain someone then i’m the guy you should get advice from, for only 75 dollars an hour

(A bit annoyed) Hey I didn’t make the first move, she did… directly into my groin

The overall geek of the group, she essentially Max Caulfield from 'Life is Strange', but she sounds and acts the complete opposite from Max (at times). This can be seen in her extroverted voice and attitude towards her friends, but with strangers she sounds and acts exactly like Max. Jade has an upbeat tone in her voice and tends to talk very sporadic and 'girly' around her friends/roommates.

Voice Range: High

(Curious tone) So who is this, your new friend you found at that sketchy alleyway… That almost tried to kill us in our sleep.

(Up-Beat and Happy tone) Let's get a group photo!

(Casual tone) Hey do you guys want to go out to that bar down the road?

This is a completely optional occupation, but since I want to work on a deadline, and I also want to speed up the animation process, I would love to have a background artist(s) to help make the interior of the apartment, and outside areas look more detailed.

Some of my requirements are at the top, but I also want to mention that you might have to animate props in the background like doors or object, this might not happen but I'm just pointing that out as a possibility. Your background would also have to fit in with my style of drawings, so don't have extremely detailed environments keep it simple.

For this i'm looking for someone who has experience with comedic shows/scripts, who can also put a lot of effort into fleshing out our characters with barely any continuity. I already have the first episode script done and i'm starting to plan on the next episode, this is to ensure you can look at what these characters are like and how they are supposed to be handled.

This is going to be a small role, so expect yourself to make transition music between scenes (sort of like what South Park does), and make background music for different places, so I'm looking for composers who can do casual relaxed music to more upbeat tones
